[@michaelbinbc]

As a Canadian, I can tell you that although the tariffs are paid for by you guys, the increased price will affect sales for companies up here. We do 70% of our trade with you... if you raise the price of our products by 25%, your citizens will just buy a cheaper product... from China. This will affect many small businesses, and our GDP as a whole... we're already talking about it. But while we're at it... if Trump's complaining about drugs and illegals sneaking into your country, what about the guns, cocaine and fentinal making their way into Canada... through the US? The guns are from you guys, but the drugs make it into Canada... through the US. You guys let them in to begin with. Blame yourselves, not everyone else.

[@Wud-f2r]

We won’t be buying a cheaper product from China because he’s already said he wants to hit China with a 60% tariff 🙄😡 I’m sure you will be able to sell to Europe and other countries - say Mexico - with no tariffs. No one will want trade with the U.S.

[@balaclavabob001]

The part that no one is talking about is that if imported goods go up then so do home produced goods . Partly this will be due to increased cost of raw materials but also because home producers aren't going to keep their prices the same if the products they compete with go up . They'll just charge more to match the price .

I buy another one it breaks the second time I used it.... I thought I wonder if anything's made in the USA and freaking Walmart and yes there was one and it still works and it'll keep working for the rest of my life... most of the time made in USA means quality..... you should see the video of elon's car going up against a Chevy...... yes it was somewhat bulletproof so big deal in the end it couldn't even do anything and the Chevy truck or whatever it was I think it was a Chevy drives over this giant thing of dirt and Elon lost and I think it must have been something because C4 will blow through it but in that video it did not they gave Trump a Tesla truck he likes musk but he hates electric cars give me a break

[@allanmason3201]

You're right. And the mystical forces of capitalism (aka corporate greed) will also be a factor. Say some huge transnational company which relies on imported raw materials or components manages to stockpile years' worth of inputs by the time the import taxes hit. There's no way they're going to keep their prices low when they have a semi-valid excuse for gouging.

[@galactusfantasticus4814]

We (Canada) will just pivot to trade with Europe. Europe is starving for LNG and oil, as well as rare earth metals and lumber, all of which we have abundant amounts of. Do you think that the EU will want tariff-free trade for these things, as well as our innovations in green energy, as we make the global transition? Unfortunately, it is now evident to all Canadians that we need to diversify and ween ourself off of the easy "methadone" of US consumerism in favour of more reliable trade agreements. Canada has a VERY good reputation as a reliable, fair, and honest trade partner. Time for us to seek or bolster other opportunities based on that.

I am also Canadian, and I wish it were that simple. 70% of our trade is with the US. 2 million jobs directly or indirectly depend on that one market. We are the biggest trade partners of 17 states. We cannot “pivot” to Europe. Tax policy in Canada has to at least track American tax policy. That is why when their richest 1% own 33+% of national family wealth, our top 1% owns 26%. When their top 10% own 72%+ of family wealth, our top 20% owns 69%. Trump will end ACA. Doug Ford, Danielle Smith, Poilievre will end Medicare here. The advantages we have are an independent Supreme Court, pretty strict rules on federal and provincial campaign financing, 20 provinces who can never agree and a multiparty system. On the other hand, note that the party members nominating candidates are often “instant members” bused in. And they need not be citizens! Russia, Iran, China all have an interest in making Canada less governable. All of them pay surrogates here. All of them fund dissidents.

[@faderen2000]

Yes, but saying tariff is just a tax on consumers is not correct. Most contries uses tariffs. Sometimes over 100% tariff. Reason is to protect domestic businesses. Specially within agriculture. Instead of tariffs you could give subsidies (better alternative) so domestic businesses can compete with the ones abroad. That way you could have a combination of both and the consumer gets more products to chose from/or like you said, get the product all year round. But it gets even more complicated when the country abroad subsides their export industry. Conclusion is that tariffs are a tool. Also not something you should impliment and remove frequently, because it makes it hard for businesses to plan ahead. Global trade dont like uncertainty. The video says tariffs cant stop drugs. Well, time will tell, but its a tool that might help, indirect, to motivate Mexico and Canada to do more to stop it. Lets say Mexico and Costa Rica export avocado to the USA. Without tariffs, Mexico have an advantage being closer (less transportation costs). Lets say Mexico gets a 25% tariff on the avocado, but the ones from Costa Rica was just 10% more expensive before. So now the import from Costa Rica goes up and less import from Mexico. Over time Mexican farmers might stop producing avocadoes, and produces something they can sall domestic instead (or something they can export to others). Its like playing poker, but history have showed that Trump dont bluff. The tariffs will happen, meaning Mexico and Canada might reconsider todays political actions. But its also a tool that might backfire and hurt the US. Only time will tell. Haveing a secure border, often comes with a prize. Less illegals = less cheap labor = higher prizes, so if Trump voters wanted cheaper stuff, they probably will be dissapointed. Only tiime will tell.

one part that everyone leaves out when explaining the tariffs is: the companies that import the stuff and pay the tarrifs will rais the prices for their costumers and if costumers then buy less because its more expensive the supplier might raise prices again because they are not selling enough of the stuff stop doing business altogether. if the importer goes to the supplier and tells them they will have to lower their prices to accomodate the difference in taxes the supplier will either refuse or will reduce the quality. my gf works as a product manager and has plenty of experience with china, if you ask them for a lower price they will give you the price without much of a discussion but they will reduce the quality of the goods to match the new price, for instance less thick pipes to save on the material..... so it's all even worse and more complicated that even the people who understand the concept think

Well, he's not bigly smart, eh

[@alwayslearning8365]

Trump is as dumb as a brick. He destroyed the real estate empire his father built, he tried to screw his family out of their inheritance, went bankrupt 6 times including two casinos and he still thinks he is smart. He must have sold his soul to have stayed out of jail this long. Dumbest president ever and that includes the rest of the world. He makes George W Bush look like a genius.

Wow, that TicToc guy had no idea how tariffs work....just like most of the voters in the US, I'd be willing to bet. What a bunch of uninformed people in this country.

How can we be so stupid and allow this to happen? What happens when we have mass layoffs?

[@dharobed3329]

We, it's the Red voters who choose Him! Mass layoffs... if Trump deports thousands of immigrants, seriously who's gonna fill the jobs?

For Republicans it's not a bug, it's a feature.

Canada has the 2nd largest border in the world. WTH does he want us to do?? Make a wall?

[@juliebean2806]

As a Canadian ..he can go right ahead 😂😂

Pretty sure that during his first administration, there was a South Park episode….where Canada built a wall to keep the U.S. out.

[@alex35agm]

One of the Republicans already suggested that silly idea in his last term.But don't worry Mexico will pay for both.

[@acrufox4352]

He will start the first mile of the wall between Canada and the US then blame the Democrats from building a wall no one asked for. Oh but look at Trump there thinking he's the smartest guy in the room. In all reality that's all he is hiring for his administration. When he has enough idiots in the same room as him, he'll be the most intelligent person in the room.
